.SH NAME
getsockname \- get socket name
.SH LIBRARY
Standard C library
.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.B #include <sys/socket.h>
.PP
.BI "int getsockname(int " sockfd ", struct sockaddr *restrict " addr ,
.BI "                socklen_t *restrict " addrlen );
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
.BR getsockname ()
returns the current address to which the socket
.I sockfd
is bound, in the buffer pointed to by
.IR addr .
The
.I addrlen
argument should be initialized to indicate
the amount of space (in bytes) pointed to by
.IR addr .
On return it contains the actual size of the socket address.
.PP
The returned address is truncated if the buffer provided is too small;
in this case,
.I addrlen
will return a value greater than was supplied to the call.
.SH RETURN VALUE
On success, zero is returned.
On error, \-1 is returned, and
.I errno
is set to indicate the error.
.SH ERRORS
.TP
.B EBADF
The argument
.I sockfd
is not a valid file descriptor.
.TP
.B EFAULT

.I addr
argument points to memory not in a valid part of the
